ITALY - REPUBLIC OF VENICE

(1848)

The Napoleonic conquests and the war against Austria put an end to the Republic of Venice: on May 12, 1797, Napoleon obtained the surrender of the Venetian government and, at the Treaty of Campo-Formio, France abandoned Venice to Austria, which it will occupy until 1866, even if in 1848 will be created an ephemeral republic (from March to August 1848) under the aegis of Daniel Manin.
